Chapter 10, Problem 37P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

Whether the locus is autosomal, X-linked, or Y-linked.

Introduction:

In research, the whole-genome sequence of a fetus was obtained without any invasive procedure like amniocentesis. It is based on the theory of leakage of some fetal cells into the mother’s bloodstream, which after breaking down release their own DNA. In this manner, 10% of DNA fragments come from the fetus while the rest 90% come from the mother’s genome.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The diploid genome of mother and fetus.

Introduction:

When the investigators collected the cell-free DNA from the pregnant woman’s bloodstream, they carried out the advanced high-throughput sequencing method. After the sequencing analysis, seven unlinked loci were obtained. The number of reads of particular alleles was shown by Greek letters.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

Whether the fetus is male or female.

Introduction:

In a study involving the whole-genome sequence of a fetus, a noninvasive method was used, which decreased the chances of occurrence of miscarriages. After the analysis of the data obtained from sequencing, seven unlinked loci were obtained. The number of reads of particular alleles was shown by Greek letters.

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

The possible explanation about finding the eighth locus containing 1500 reads.

Introduction:

The study obtained seven unlinked loci, where the number of reads of particular alleles was shown by Greek letters. Now, an additional eighth locus containing 1500 reads was also obtained, containing a single type of sequence.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
